Isn’t it more than that? My understanding is that from the time period, each side had attacked temples on the other side. The conflicts were very high?
Similarly, different sects of Christianity even are sometimes called different faiths, there have even been literal wars over it. Having the same roots doesn’t mean perception of being the same thing by those participating in it.
it sounded like the disagreements came to petty squabbling in your original post to me; killing each other doesn’t sound like minutia, so that’s not how I read it
